What a wonderful episode. I resonate with the tension you describe of not being completely honest with myself about the reality of my work/home life, and found this episode especially helpful. Thank you!

Emily, your work blesses me so much. Today’s podcast was beautiful – you are easily my very favorite podcast – and I felt like you were speaking right out of my own head! I currently work outside the home about 26 hours a week, but I have been blogging for a few months and am trying out a few other things so that I can work from home. I already struggle with “I have a job” at home – and do worry about what it will be like if and when I can be fully at home! Boundaries will be a struggle for me, and I, too, have the mindset of “stay-at-home-mom”, even though I know I need to shift to “I have a job”. So thank you for putting my soul into words, as you always do so beautifully.

Thank you for sharing your amazing gift with the world. I so look forward to hearing your sweet voice on Tuesdays. This particular episode really spoke to me. I am a pro at those imaginary conversations and imagining what people might think about me. It’s a comfort to know that I’m not alone.

Thanks Emily. This one was so helpful I sent it to my husband. This year we’ve added an interstate move, a child with special needs, homeschooling (not something I ever anticipated), two new jobs, and sick parents. Plus I’m hardly doing my life giving act of writing. And I blame myself for not being able to do it all when I need to give it to the burden barer. Love your work X Nikki

Have you been “reading my mail”? I could identify with so much of this podcast. Thank you for the simple reminders that I can’t do it all and the guidelines on how to choose the next right thing. We’ve just moved; my husband’s health is changing…and I need more soul feeding. This is helping. Thank you!

Your name is written on my calendar for every Tues. I am always trying to create space for my “soul to breath”. Today…although I am a couple of weeks behind…today this podcast was right on time. As always…God’s time. Not mine.
thank you for what you do. It makes a difference.
